## Top Great Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews

### Cairns Colonial Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We did not avail ourselves of breakfast so unable to comment . Overall our experience was very positive. Family friendly & well organised, great service, great food & friendly helpful staff. We loved our stay & would happily recommend it to others "

[](https://expedia.ca/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Colonial-Club-Resort.h84257.Hotel-Information)

### Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"the room was spotless and extremely comfortable. Only one negative comment would be the BATH in the ensuite. we are 86 and 79 and stepping over a bath is not really safe at our ages. Your room staff were great. We let them know that there was no need to clean our room but happly gave us more milk, coffee and tea . Bar restaurant and front counter staff couldn't do more for us. Even your trainee on the front counter was extremely helpful. We joined your club also whilst we were there but disappointed to see upon my return that none of the stay we had just enjoyed was recorded on our club membership Lenore and Edward Ryan"

### Crystalbrook Riley

10/10 Excellent

"I happily give 5 stars for the overall convenient and scenic location, lovely facilities, helpful staff and chic eateries. On the "needs improvement" was the musty smell of the room (great ocean view!) and inconsistent cleaning crew. eg, sometimes the used tea bag/towels/pillows were replaced and sometimes not. (I'm all for eco-housekeeping, but expect it to be consistent.) "
